JTC has appointed Greg Kok (pictured left) as head of group JTC Management Company (ManCo) Services as the firm looks to continue to grow and develop its global ManCo and alternative investment management (AIFM) proposition.
Based in Luxembourg, Kok will oversee the delivery, growth and evolution of JTC’s global ManCo platform.
Additionally, Kok will add to the technical resources for real estate, private equity and UCITS fund manager clients.
He has extensive experience of running AIFM businesses, most recently in his role as global head of AIFM for the Maitland group and previously as executive head of alternatives for FundRock management company.
Kok also has experience in managing private equity and real estate transactions and considerable cross-border expertise having worked across multiple markets in Asia, UK, Europe and Africa with additional exposure to the US and offshore jurisdictions.
Joost Mees (pictured right), managing director, JTC Luxembourg, commented: “The fund management landscape in Europe has altered significantly in recent years, with managers needing real optionality in terms of their operating models and structures to meet investor demands.”
Mees continued: “With that in mind, we have seen considerable and mounting interest in our ManCo platforms in Luxembourg and Guernsey as managers have sought cost-effective, flexible and AIFMD-compliant outsourced solutions for both EU and non-EU funds.”
“In a post-Brexit environment, we see real scope for our ManCo platform to grow and evolve even further, and Greg, with his unparalleled experience of working with cross-border AIFM and ManCo solutions, will be pivotal in driving that forward,” Mees added.
JTC has had a ManCo platform in Luxembourg since 2016 and in Guernsey since 2017, providing fund managers with a broad range of services, including portfolio management, risk management, compliance, and regulatory reporting.
